CHI-OH, CHI-OH, IT'S OFF TO ...

Perhaps things have changed in forty years. Inside Higher Ed found a humorous exchange of recruiting videos from Ohio University, another of the November night football game universities. First out, the sorority, Chi Omega. Usual cutesy stuff, the dancing and primping comes before studying. But ladies, using a song with the lyrics We don't need no sleep .. We could do this all night?? (Or is that defanging the reputation you used to have?) Phi Kappa Psi offered a parody that, given the material they had to work with, stayed tasteful.

Of course, since the videos appeared at Inside Higher Ed, you can bet that the Perpetually Aggrieved found much to gripe about in the comments.
